    Awesome job with this video. Yes there is a very short technical issue with the video but still super helpful for anyone new to this remote. Thanks man. Subscribed!

    So many comments/questions and no questions answered. Audio does indeed cutoff at about the 4:50 mark but come back around 5:50 +/-

    Thanks, good lesson. BTW, you should look into hiding the cables in the wall. It would make a big difference in the appearance of your wall-mounted TV. It's pretty easy and not expensive.

    Great video. The only thing that I think should be mentioned is that this remote hub only uses 2.4ghz wifi which means if you are on 5.8ghz you phone wont be able to get the hub to synch.

    How's the lag on the remote? My harmony with the hub has like a half second delay and it's really annoying when you press a button and things don't happen right away. Leads me to press the volume several times more than necessary and overshoots the level that I want. Also, when you hold down a button like volume, it doesn't go into repeat mode for a full second. I hope this is better than the Harmony but this looks like the only comparable replacement these days...

    The part I find hard to setup is the activities. It wants to know the source. I realize it wants to know HDMI 1 or 2 etc. But I don't know how to get it there. It's way too vague in this area. I have the U1 already and it was much easier to set up the activities without the source issue. Do you have or know of a more comprehensive set of instructions for setting up the activities?

    Thanks for the very helpful video. I have a DENON Home Theater receiver. I understand how to connect it to the hub, but I need to tell it to also choose what mode on the DENON to use. For example, to obtain the audio for a DVD player, I need to turn on the DENON, and then press the DVD button to direct the correct mode to work. How do I program this in the x-1. Many thanks!

    Right at the beginning of the video where you mention connecting to Wifi, you don't mention if it has to be 2.4Gh only like on the Harmony hub remotes? Can I use 5Gh?

  • @Gina2329
    @Gina2329 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Do you have to keep unplugging the square hub thing to use the charging block for charging the remote? The charging block seems to have to be shared between plugging the hub in for power and using the block to charge the remote. Is that correct?

    @shaolung62 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I just bought this remote - and the app and manual is a bit cryptic to me. In plain language, say if I want to turn on my cable box, AV receiver, switch the input on the receiver to hdmi 3, turn on my Samsung CU8000 tv, and switch to HDMI 1 for input, how would I do that? I hate to ask for "support", but I do need a little help.

      Did you try this remote? My Harmony Elite is taking a dump on me and I have everything running through the receiver. It’s way easier for everyone in the household to press an activity and everything does what it’s supposed to do.

      @@jgatto1234 No. I own 2 Harmony Elite remotes and would like to buy a 3rd, but they’ve gotten expensive since they’re not made any more. The SofaBaton remotes are missing too many features the Harmony Elite has for me to consider it. I tried a previous SofaBaton remote model and didn’t like it.

      No, I didn't anyway. I'm guessing they're NOT backlit though. I had the U2 (was junk) and it did not have backlit. Looking at the X1, it appears to be the same. Also, the buttons are really loud when clicked. Not soft at all.@@jgatto1234
